San Francisco Silent Film Festival winter event on December 2
Here is the line-up of films for the upcoming San Francisco Silent Film Festival winter event, which is taking place at the Castro Theater in San Francisco on December 2. It is a terrific line-up of movies. The link to ticket information can be found HERE.
I will be attending part of the event, and for those interested, I will be signing books, including the RECENTLY released Beggars of Life: A Companion to the 1928 Film and the NEWLY released Now We're in the Air, following the showing of The Last Man on Earth (at approximately 1:15 pm or so). I will also have a few copies of my DVDs and the "Louise Brooks edition" of The Diary of a Lost Girl on hand.
This promises to be a special signing, as it will be taking place in the very theater were the "once lost" Louise Brooks film, Now We're in the Air, was first premiered earlier this year. Joining me will be Robert Byrne, who uncovered the film and wrote the foreword to this new book.
The first full-length animated feature ever, Prince Achmed is loosely based on tales from The Arabian Nights.
This enchanting film tells its story—an evil sorcerer trying to best
the princely hero—entirely through cut-paper silhouettes against tinted
and toned backdrops. Director Reiniger’s exquisitely expressive cutouts
depict magical scenes of adventure involving flying horses, Aladdin, the
Witch of Fiery Mountain, and the beautiful Princess Pari Banu, among
others! A treat for all ages!

The Adventures of Prince Achmed (Die Abenteuer des Prinzen Achmed)
10:00 AM (72 min)
The Last Man on Earth
12:00 PM (70 min)
This gender-bending 1924 comedy imagines the year 1954 when an epidemic
of “masculitus” has wiped out the male population, except for one sad
sack, Elmer Smith (Earle Foxe). Gertie the Gangster (Grace Cunard)
discovers the hermit Elmer and sells him to the government—for a hefty
$10 million—where his fate will be decided in a boxing match on the
floor of the US Senate!
Tol'able David
2:00 PM (94 min)
D.W. Griffith’s Broken Blossoms made Richard Barthelmess a star, but it was Henry King’s Tol’able David
that cemented his place in the silent firmament. Barthelmess is the
sensitive young David forced to confront brutal Goliaths in King’s
rustic American coming-of-age tale. David’s serene Appalachian childhood
comes to an end when a trio of outlaws terrorizes his town, crippling
his brother and causing the death of his father.
The Rat
4:30 PM (78 min)
Set in the criminal underworld of Paris, this 1925 British box-office smash hit features the beguiling Ivor Novello as the apache Pierre Boucheron, aka The Rat. Novello would go on to star in Alfred Hitchcock’s The Lodger (1926) and Downhill (1927), but it was The Rat
that made him a Valentino-like sensation. Novello’s knife-throwing Rat
(a role he created for himself on stage) is dangerous to men,
irresistible to women—especially to slumming aristocrat Zélie de Chaumet
(Isabel Jeans). Director Cutts does a splendid job bringing Belle
Époque Paris to life in his London studio.
Lady Windermere's Fan
7:00 PM (90 min)
Silent Oscar Wilde! If any filmmaker in history could convey the wit of
the audaciously verbal Wilde in purely visual terms, it was the
audaciously clever Ernst Lubitsch, aided here by a superb cast: May
McAvoy as Lady Windermere, Ronald Colman as Lord Darlington, and Irene
Rich as the notorious Mrs. Erlynne. Wilde’s biting comedy of social
affectation and hypocrisy finds perfect expression under Lubitsch’s deft
direction. The two masters shared an ethos, voiced here by Wilde’s Lord
Darlington: “Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously
about it.”
Sex in Chains (Geschlecht in Fesseln)
9:15 PM (92 min)
William Dieterle, who would go on to direct Hollywood classics like The Hunchback of Notre Dame and The Portrait of Jennie, started his career as actor/director Wilhelm Dieterle in Germany. Despite its lurid English translation, Sex in Chains
is actually a message film about the human cost of imprisonment—for the
imprisoned and society—that argues for prison reform. Dieterle himself
plays the protagonist Franz Sommer, in jail for involuntary
manslaughter, who turns to his cellmate for companionship. The film’s
depiction of prison homosexuality was far ahead of its time, and so bold
as to acknowledge that it could even lead to love.

Pandora’s Box (Pandoran lipas) with Louise Brooks screens in Helsinki, Finland on November 27 and December 1
The National Audiovisual Institute (KAVI) in Helsinki, Finland will screen Pandora’s Box (Pandoran lipas) on November 27 and December 1, 2017 as part of their ongoing Louise Brooks series.
Brooks is the focus of the four film series at the country’s National Audiovisual Institute, which is set to show Beggars of Life on October 12 and 15, Diary of a Lost Girl (Kadotetun päiväkirja) on October 19 and 21, Prix de beaute (Miss Europa) on October 27 and 29, and Pandora’s Box (Pandoran lipas) on November 27 and December 1.
Here is some further information from the KAVI site. Times and ticket availability for each film may be found HERE.
Louise Brooksin elokuvauraa voi luonnehtia tähdenlennoksi, sillä hänen aktiivinen elokuvauransa kesti vain vuosikymmenen. Parhaimmat elokuvansa hän teki Euroopassa G. W. Pabstin kanssa. Hollywoodin Brooks jätti sopimusrikkojana, eikä paluu unelmatehtaaseen enää onnistunut.
The following is from the KAVI website:
Kreikkalaisessa mytologiassa Pandora on kuolevainen nainen, jonka
jumalat lähettivät kauneudella ja muille naiselle tärkeinä pitämillään
ominaisuuksilla varustettuna kostamaan Prometheukselle tulenryöstön.
Mukaansa Pandora sai lippaan, jonne oli kätketty kaikki inhimilliset
synnit ja pahuudet. Tietenkin Pandora meni uteliaana avaamaan lippaan,
ja ilkiömäisyydet karkasivat maailman turuille. Jumalat pääsivät
sammuttamaan kostonjanonsa.
Ekspressionistina tunnettu Sveitsin saksalainen näytelmäkirjailija Frank Wedekind hyödynsi Pandora-myyttiä kahdessa näytelmässään Erdgeist (1895) ja Die Büchse der Pandora (1905), joiden päähenkilö edusti niin avointa seksuaalisuutta ja moraalista alennustilaa, että näytelmien esitykset kiellettiin Euroopan eri kolkilla lähes tyystin.
Saksalaisen Georg Wilhelm Pabstin (1885-1967) tunnetuimpiin saavutuksiin – läpimurtoelokuvan Iloton katu (1925), Brecht-sovituksen Kerjäläisooppera (1931) ja työläiskuvauksen Toveruus (1931) ohella – kuuluu edellä mainituista Wedekindin näytelmistä yhteensulautettu eroottinen melodraama Pandoran lipas (Die Büchse der Pandora, 1928). Ennen Pabstia oli aiheeseen tarttunut kameran avulla jo Leopold Jessner vuonna 1922, jolloin Lulua esitti tanskalainen supertähti Asta Nielsen.
Pabst suunnitteli ottaa elokuvansa päärooliin nuoren Marlene Dietrichin, kunnes hän päätyi Howard Hawksin ja William Wellmanin mykän kauden varhaistöissä näkemäänsä amerikkalaiseen näyttelijään ja tanssijaan Louise Brooksiin, ”amerikkalaiseen Venukseen”, jolle Pandoran lippaan Lulu muodostuikin uran tärkeimmäksi saavutukseksi.
Pandoran lipas on mustanpuhuvan romantiikan ja tunteellisen ekspressionismin täyttämä traaginen tarina naisesta, joka pyrkii olemaan täysin vapaa. Pabstin tulkinnassa Lulu on lapsenkasvoinen viettelijätär, luonnonvoima, joka kulkee sekä viattomana, että rikoksiin syyllistyen kohti tuhoaan viiltäjä-Jackin kynsissä. Lulu vaihtaa yhteiskuntaluokkaa kuin paitaa, ampuu ikääntyneen aviomiehensä tohtori Schönin (Fritz Kortner), joutuu oikeuteen murhasta syytettynä, mutta karkaa tohtorin pojan Alvan kanssa, vaeltaa orgioista toiseen, leikittelee miesten intohimolla ja päätyy lopulta prostituoiduksi.
Pabstin perusnäkemys on enemmän yksilöpsykologinen kuin yhteiskunnallinen protesti. Ihmiselle on annettu vapaus valita, mutta hän ei osaa käyttää sitä. Lulu osaa kyllä rakastaakin, mutta hän tuhoaa samalla kohteensa. Suunta onkin koko ajan valosta pimeyteen: elokuvan alun kuulaat, joskin häilyvät kuvat muuttuvat vähitellen saksalaiselle ekspressionismille ominaisen hämäriksi, pölyisiksi ja bordellinkatkuisiksi. Elämän visva on synnyttänyt hirviöitä, Pandora on avannut lippaansa.
Pandoran lipas on täynnä voimallisia symboleja, esineitä, asentoja ja eleitä, jotka saavat melkeinpä unohtamaan elokuvan mykkyyden. Pabst ei ole pelännyt groteskeja, häpeilemättömän osoittelevia kuvia, missä seikassa piileekin tämän klassikon kestävyyden kivijalka. Ollaan kaukana nykyelokuville tyypillisestä innostumattomasta taltioinnista. Lisäksi Louise Brooks on hahmo, jonka olemus hyvittää jopa murhankin.
– Antti Lindqvist, Katso 29/1984

Louise Brooks, kimaltava tähdenlento
12.10.2017 - 01.12.2017
Louise Brooksin elokuvauraa voi luonnehtia tähdenlennoksi, sillä hänen aktiivinen elokuvauransa kesti vain vuosikymmenen. Parhaimmat elokuvansa hän teki Euroopassa G. W. Pabstin kanssa. Hollywoodin Brooks jätti sopimusrikkojana, eikä paluu unelmatehtaaseen enää onnistunut.
The following is from the KAVI website:
Ohjaaja: G. W. Pabst
Henkilöt: Louise Brooks, Gustav Diessl, Fritz Kortner
Maa: Saksa
Tekstitykset: English subtitles
Ikäraja: K16
Kesto: 134 min
Teemat: ELOKUVAN HISTORIA

Lisätieto: Franz Wedekindin näytelmistä • sonorisoitu • uusi musiikki Peer Raben
G.
W. Pabst löysi hehkuvan Lulunsa Howard Hawksin elokuvasta A Girl in
Every Port. Pandoran lippaassa (Die Büchse der Pandora, 1929) Brooksin
amoraalinen roolihahmo on viaton ja sensuelli – nainen, joka ei tunnusta
rajojaan. Elokuva perustuu Franz Wedekindin näytelmiin, joissa
ekspressionismi yhdistyy melodraamaan. Pabst tutki totuutta kuitenkin
viileästi uusasiallisuuden hengessä, realistisesti ja vähäeleisesti
tuoden samalla esiin yhteiskunnallisia epäkohtia ja kaksinaismoraalia.

TODAY: Pandora's Box, starring Louise Brooks, screens in Bristol, England
Pandora's Box, starring Louise Brooks as Lulu, will be shown in Bristol, England on November 24th. This special event, hosted by South West Silents, will take place at the Cube Microplex (BS2 8 Bristol, United Kingdom). Time and ticket availability may be found HERE.
This film will show from a 35mm film print from the National Film and Television Archive with live piano accompaniment by John Sweeney, and will feature an introduction by Pamela Hutchinson, author of just published BFI Film Classics book on Pandora’s Box.
"G.W. Pabst’s 1929 silent masterpiece Pandora’s Box stars Louise Brooks in the role that secured her place as one of the immortal goddesses of the silver screen.
This controversial, and in its day heavily censored, film is regularly ranked in the Top 100 films of all time (including Cahiers du Cinema and Sight & Sound). Brooks is unforgettable as Lulu (Louise Brooks), a sexy, amoral dancer who creates a trail of devastation as she blazes through Weimar-era Berlin, breaking hearts and destroying lives. From Germany, she flies to France, and finally to London, where tragedy strikes. This stunning photographed film is loosely based on the controversial Lulu plays by Frank Wedekind, and also features one of the cinema’s earliest lesbian characters."

The Louise Brooks Society all over the place....
The Louise Brooks Society was begun in 1995 as a gathering place for like-minded individuals from around the world.
The Louise Brooks Society is devoted to the appreciation and promotion of the life and films of Louise Brooks. The mission of the society is to honor the actress by stimulating interest in her life, films and writings, as well as her place in 20th century culture; by fostering and coordinating research; by serving as a repository for relevant material; and by advocating for the preservation and restoration of her films and other material.
The purpose of the LBS is to promote interest in the actress by offering membership in a society; by serving as a focal point for related activities; by disseminating accurate information including scholarly texts and bibliographies; and by offering individuals a variety of materials to aid in their appreciation of the actress. Above all, the LBS encourages the viewing of Brooks’ surviving films, and the fellowship of her admirers.
Future projects include the publication of new material about the actress (in the form of books and e-books), as well as the ongoing development of its website, its blog, and RadioLulu. The LBS also hopes to raise funds toward the restoration and release of an unavailable Brooks’ film. Other projects are on the drawing board.
